In the latest beta (6) of xcode 9 and iOS 11 I can no longer access UIColors from the .xcassets folder with UIColor(named: )

Application crashes with no useful output in thr debugger to suggest why

Anyone else having this issue?

Seems to work fine

Here is the color contents.json

{
  "info" : {
    "version" : 1,
    "author" : "xcode"
  },
  "colors" : [
    {
      "idiom" : "universal",
      "color" : {
        "color-space" : "srgb",
        "components" : {
          "red" : "0.686",
          "alpha" : "1.000",
          "blue" : "0.670",
          "green" : "1.000"
        }
      }
    }
  ]
}

Here is the code:

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        view.backgroundColor = UIColor(named: "myGreen")
    }
